I don’t have time for a bunch of words that mean nothing from the man in charge of Norfolk Southern, and neither do the folks whose lives have been upended by derailments. It’s unacceptable. I will keep pushing to improve safety and braking standards. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I asked Norfolk Southern CEO Alan Shaw a pretty clear yes or no question about the company’s commitment to safety. He wouldn’t answer. https://t.co/NtpxKwsVxO — PolitiTweet.org

Every American who values their right to privacy, stands against discrimination, and believes people are innocent until proven guilty should be concerned about the increasing use of facial recognition technology by our government. I support a federal moratorium. — PolitiTweet.org

My thoughts are with those affected by the devastating fire that destroyed parts of four Rohingya refugee camps and some 3,000 shelters in Bangladesh. https://t.co/mhlLOj42KD — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

This additional aid from @StateDept will continue crucial support to Rohingya refugees and others in Burma affected by ongoing violence. I applaud this decision, and will keep fighting to ensure human rights are protected globally. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m participating in an @epwcmte hearing on the public health and environmental disaster caused by the train derailment and chemical release in East Palestine, OH. I’m pushing for answers and accountability from Norfolk Southern. Tune in ⬇️ https://t.co/9m54Tsrbfx — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

I voted to repeal the 1991 and 2002 Authorizations for Use of Military Force (AUMFs) in Iraq. No more blank checks for endless war! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Pipelines leak and fossil fuels are destroying our planet. If we’re going to make meaningful progress toward our renewable energy future, we need to stop greenlighting new fossil fuel projects like Willow. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

In Oregon we vote by mail—it’s a simple, secure system that offers folks the flexibility to vote on their own time. My friend @RonWyden and I agree: it’s time to give EVERY American the opportunity to vote by mail. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Every working person should have good working conditions and fair pay—and every worker should be able to organize their workplace if they choose. We need to pass the #PROAct to protect the right to unionize. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Solidarity with Starbucks workers in Ashland who intend to unionize! They join more than 20 Starbucks stores across our state that have already successfully unionized. https://t.co/g2tZBjbNAU — PolitiTweet.org

TUNE IN: Tomorrow, @epwcmte is holding a hearing on the horrific and unacceptable train derailment disaster that caused a public health and environmental emergency for the community of East Palestine, OH. We need answers from Norfolk Southern. — PolitiTweet.org

Americans depend on Medicare, and while Republicans try to gut critical benefits, Democrats are focused on strengthening the program long-term. Lower Rx drug prices and the wealthiest paying their fair share in taxes to support Medicare? Sign me up! https://t.co/HEemSSaE84 — PolitiTweet.org

Most Americans believe in reproductive freedom and support access to abortion care. I’m one of them—which is why I’m working to #PassWHPA and codify Roe in federal law. — PolitiTweet.org

100%. Use of the filibuster has created a minority veto over the majority—corrupting the legislative process. We must replace the no-effort filibuster with the talking filibuster. No more secret vetoes! https://t.co/zjVsBnhC8H — PolitiTweet.org

Higher education should be accessible to everyone—but right now, we’re facing a worrying gap between Black, Hispanic, and Native students and white students in earning bachelor’s degrees. We need to widen the doors of opportunity, not narrow them. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

As the Supreme Court considers invalidating race-conscious admissions, @RepBowman, @RepWilson and I are leading our colleagues in pushing @usedgov to address racial and ethnic gaps in higher education. https://t.co/w4ZSv0qGwo — PolitiTweet.org

Let’s make sure this #InternationalWomensDay is the last one without the Equal Rights Amendment in place! Equal rights for women should be enshrined in our Constitution. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

Everyone in our country should have access to the full range of health care they need—including abortion care. I support the five women suing the state of Texas—their lives shouldn’t have been endangered to advance an unpopular, extreme political view. https://t.co/sf2gpYQ5dF — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley

As the son of a union machinist, I saw up close the difference a strong union can make in delivering the fair wages and robust workplace protections that every worker deserves. We need to pass the #PROAct. https://t.co/X6EVPYnVRs — PolitiTweet.org
